"Just saying.... " Don't shoot the messenger
At today's census of 140 million Russians, this can only spiral downwards.
By 2050 there will only be 107 million Russians to defend a vast area, some of which is adjacent to an expanding and covetous China. Just in neighboring border provinces there are over 100 million Chinese.
And it's very well known the death rate of over 50 yo Russian males due to vodka, heroin, etc.
Putin & Russia are already living on past-due, borrowed time.
No wonder Ukraine wants out, the Russian ship of state has already hit the proverbial iceberg.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53c994346bb3f7b355865926Hero's DutyFri, 18 Jul 2014 17:40:04 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53c994346bb3f7b355865926

You should have someone from head office proofread your comments before send, comrade, or back to Gulag for you and your family.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53c978e569bedddf280c92aaJJJJFri, 18 Jul 2014 15:43:33 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53c978e569bedddf280c92aa

Also, the Russian Strela, shoulder fired is
used in the Ukraine, and can easily reach
12 to 15 miles. These type of weapons would be
useless if they couldn't hit high flying targetshttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/53c96b3e69bedd5a6ae16f08Stop ItFri, 18 Jul 2014 14:45:18 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53c96b3e69bedd5a6ae16f08

The plane was at 6 miles up
Wikipedia states BUK capability at 15.5 miles altitude.

Is "a professor of National Security at the U.S. Naval War College" a reasonable source? Would BI readers accept "professor of National Security at the Russian Naval War College" as a source? I suppose they wouldn't.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53c95cbfecad04bd3d7ee560There are no innocent world leaders in Ukraine's affairsFri, 18 Jul 2014 13:43:27 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53c95cbfecad04bd3d7ee560

"This spook anti-aircraft launcher "
He would have said "This BUK (pronounced Scottish Book, rhymes with Spook) etc".

"This spook anti-aircraft launcher is not something you can just stick on your shoulder. Its the size of a truck. It has to come from somewhere. It takes a lot of training, It takes several people to operate it," Nichols said. "This takes people who know what they're doing."
Truly a job fit for a oligarch-sponsored NATO spy ring.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53c94fea6da8116c28503678Kenry HissingerFri, 18 Jul 2014 12:48:42 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53c94fea6da8116c28503678
